She sat on the stone bench which she loved.
And despised.
She let out a sigh.
One of the many.
And continued to stare at a spot on the ground a few feet infront of her.
It was dark.
But that never stopped her from comming.
Every night.
Hoping that maybe, this time would be different.
Something would change.
Someone would be there.
And thats why she sits, on that stone bench.
Waiting.
Another sigh.
But not her own.
She kept staring.
Refusing to look up.
As footsteps were heard.
And an old presence felt.
Sitting beside her.
On thier stone bench.
She gathered up the courage.
To speak.
Not look.
"You know...this is where it all began..." she started.
"And where it all ended.." she paused.
"Looks like it will begin again..."
"But hopefully this time.."
"it wont end."
Silence was heard, neither moved.
Afraid that if they did...it will all fade.
And they will wake.
She glanced up.
But still away.
Its gotten colder.
Than its ever been.
"Sai once said...there was a greater chance..." her voice was soft.
"..that it would snow...in the Fire Country..." her voice was quiet.
"than you ever...returning..."
A sad smile.
"But I told him..."
She gazed up to the sky.
"maybe not today..or tomorrow..."
"but one day...when its colder than normal.."
Her fingers laced.
"look up to the sky..."
"because one day.."
She looked down.
"someday.."
She whispered.
"it will snow.."
She turned her head.
"in the Fire Country."
A beautiful smile.
"And you know..."
"...Sasuke-kun.."
She looked back up.
"...snow...remindes me..."
"..of you."
"Because even when its at its coldest.."
She reached out.
"..if you give it a chance..."
One warm finger on the back of a hand.
"...and touch it.."
Another.
"..you realize.."
Another.
"..that its really.."
Another.
"..its really..soft."
A warm hand upon a cold one.
Pause.
Only movement..
Was snow.
"...Sakura...?"
An arm..
"Will you give me.."
Around a waist..
"...that chance?..."
"Sai owes me $20..
